Very unsettling...

This movie turned out horrible. The camera moves were shaky, the art direction was seemingly non existent, the direction...wait, there was a director? The poor actors were reaching for anything they could get a hold of to show some character. Plot sucked. It looked like a bigger budget student film. The quality of some of the shots was terrible. The lighting was weak. It looked like they just used a video camera for some scenes... oh wait. That's exactly what they did! What was up with the ugly purple SUV the cops were driving? Most of the locations just seemed to be shot "as is" with nothing really thought out. Not to mention the completely unoriginal plot. It is a shame that no quality shows come out to Arizona to shoot. There hasn't been a successful hit movie or show to be produced entirely in AZ in a while. It is too bad. Figures John Herzfeld had to take this show out of California... who would want to put the money up to shoot another unoriginal 3 lettered title show about crime. Too bad. Just too bad.

I can't believe you wrote those, and making fun of a bigest director like john hertzfield. but hey people today they do. people today critic things that can be even perfect.and even if something its not perfect, and you are one of hundreds who will see that. good for you. but you can explain your selfs in much nice matter. with your opinions. without hurting someones fealings. there is ways to do that nicely, profesional and with support.

sincerly,

Hey Daniel -

Good to see someone that actually starred in this posting here.

Big question is, who are you and what did you do to get co-billing in the cable guide for this show? I certainly mean no disrespect to you of course, but come on, it was you and Keith David - just you two. Why not Keith David and Omari Hardwick, why not Keith David and Dom Lombardozzi, why not Keith David and anyone else who we have heard of? I'm not even certain I saw your reporter character in the show at all. It was fun to work on though, and I hope you enjoyed it as well. I literally almost broke my leg on this show, and still had a ton of fun =)

All of that aside I did enjoy the show, but can see some of the faults the OP noted - but mostly I saw fault with Spike TV. No marketing for this show whatsoever, and far too many commercial interruptions. Even if this did go to series, and I was a part of the crew again, I would not watch this on Spike TV. Ok, maybe if Christina Cox had a larger part, maybe...

Take care -
